Summary

AI-generated · Dec 04, 2025

Provide fully programmable hearing aids from actual manufacturers (not resellers). Devices must come in color options including dark brown, medium brown, beige/light skin tones, plus highly contrasting colors (e.g., black/white) for use with dual sensory users. The product line should offer 16+ channels, 3+ programs, adaptive directional microphone technology when feasible given instrument size, adaptive signal processing, and noise reduction for both steady-state and transient noise. Features include wireless programmability (unless size prevents), user-accessible programs, active feedback suppression, data logging, and wireless communication between binaural devices (if size allows).

Performance and coverage requirements include THD averaged over 500, 800, and 1600 Hz kept below 5% (per ANSI/ASA S3.22-2014) and equivalent input noise not exceeding 29 dB (32 dB for power/super-power instruments). The manufacturer must offer a range of devices suitable for mild, moderate, and severe hearing losses, with at least one model in each category that has a maximum operating point (MPO) of at least 125 dB SPL and a maximum gain of at least 60 dB.

THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT LOOKING FOR A RESELLER OR PASS THROUGH, RATHER ACTUAL MANUFACTURES. All hearing aids shall be fully programmable. Minimum shade/color availability shall be: Dark brown, medium brown, and beige/light skin tone colors Highly Contrasting colors (for example: black and white, black/light grey) for a matching set of hearing aids for use with the dual sensory population. Sixteen (16) or more channels Three or more programs Adaptive directional microphone technology, unless not technologically feasible due to the size of the instrument Adaptive signal processing. Noise reduction strategies for steady state and transient noise. Wireless programmability, unless not technologically feasible due to the size of the instrument Programs accessible by the user. Active feedback suppression. Data logging. Wireless communication between hearing aids, of a binaural set, unless not technologically feasible due to the size of the instrument Average total harmonic distortion (THD) calculated by averaging the values measured at 500 Hz, 800 Hz, and 1600 Hz according to the procedures specified in American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Acoustical Society of America (ASA) S3.22-2014 shall be less than 5%. Equivalent input noise level measured according to the procedures specified in ANSI/ASA S3.22-2014 shall not exceed 29 dB. For power and super-power instruments, the equivalent input noise level measured according to these procedures shall not exceed 32 dB. Contractors shall have a range of hearing aids in each group appropriate for mild, moderate, and severe hearing losses. See definition list for definitions of mild, moderate, and severe. Contractors shall have a minimum of one (1) model in each group which has a matrix at or above an MPO of 125 dB SPL and maximum gain of 60 dB SPL.
